Brief description: The teaching, to be recorded at Bodong Porong Pelmo Choeding monastery, Kathmandu, Nepal, will be available to view by the end of each day (Nepal time).
Event details: The Bodhisattvacaryavatara, composed by the great 8th century Indian master and poet Shantideva, is one of the most celebrated expositions in classical Indian literature of the Bodhisattva path of Mahayana Buddhism. The text is written in verse and has ten chapters. It deals extensively with the stages of training one's mind in the generation of Bodhicitta, the altruistic aspiration to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all beings, and with the essential practices of a Bodhisattva's conduct and way of life, pervaded by the qualities of love, compassion, generosity and patience.
Geshe Pema Dorjee (born in 1951, Tibet) is an internationally respected scholar and teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, known for his fluent English, clear explanations, warm nature, and humour. After advanced studies at the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics and earning his Geshe degree at Drepung Loseling Monastery, he held senior roles including Director of the Tibetan Children’s Village and Principal of the College for Higher Tibetan Studies. At the Dalai Lama’s request, he revived the Bodong tradition, establishing a research centre in Dharamsala and a monastery and school in Kathmandu. He also leads humanitarian projects in the Himalayas and has taught widely across Europe, Asia, and the United States since 1997.

Featured Current Event
Event ID: 4507
Event type: Webcast Event (for member-supporters)
Brief description: The teaching, to be recorded at Pullahari monastery, Kathmandu, Nepal, will be given in Tibetan with English and Chinese translations.
Event details: Venerable Drupon Khenpo Lodro Namgyal will teach on the Pith Instructions on the Progressive Stages of Meditation focusing on Mahamudra, the Great Seal of the Path of Liberation, based on Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye’s Treasury of Knowledge. From among the three traditions of Sutra, Mantra, and Essence, the teachings will focus on Sutra Mahamudra, the intended meaning of the rGyud bLa Ma, the Uttaratantrashastra, or ‘The Sublime Continuum of the Mahayana’, as emphasized by Gampopa, the Lord of Dharma.
The practice of Mahamudra, in this context, comprises a sequence of systematic advanced meditations based on both calm abiding and penetrative insight, which focus on the meditator’s own mind, to achieve realisation of emptiness and pure appearance – the ultimate nature of mind and phenomena.
Drupon Khenpo Lodro Namgyal is greatly admired for his skill in making even the most complex and subtle Dharma subjects inspiring and accessible. He is the Principal of Rigpe Dorje Monastic Institute for Higher Buddhist Studies at Kagyu Thekchen Ling Monastery, Lava, India, and of the Rigpe Dorje Institute for Buddhist Studies at Pullahari Monastery, Nepal. Studying under the guidance of the Venerable Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche and the Venerable Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, in 1997, upon completion of a three-year Mahamudra retreat, he was bestowed the position of Drupon Khenpo by the Venerable Khenpo Tsultrim Rinpoche, who recognized in him a rare accomplishment and skill in both study and practice.
Gompa member-supporters are cordially invited to register for this special teaching event.

Event details: Ushnishavijaya is a meditational deity specifically related to longevity. The practices related to Ushnishavijaya carry a powerful blessing, which can purify the negative deeds committed in past lives and increase merit and lifespan in the present life.
It is said that the Buddha himself selected the Sixteen Arhats from amongst his disciples and requested them to protect the Dharma. At the time of the Buddha’s Parinirvana, they vowed to remain in the world and maintain the Dharma until the time of the future Buddha Maitreya. This puja, ‘The Wish-fulfilling Gem Enhancing the Buddha’s Teachings’, a method for making offerings and prayers to Shakyamuni Buddha and the Sixteen Arhats, is said to bring special blessings for long life and to quickly generate merit.

Brief description: This practice is dedicated to the flourishing of the Dharma and world peace, and to the well-being of all sentient beings. You are cordially invited to participate.
Event details: ‘Chod’ (meaning ‘cutting away’ or ‘cutting through’) is a set of unique tantric practices based on the Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom) teachings. These practices seek to overcome both a self-cherishing attitude and the apprehension of an independent, inherently existing self; these two kinds of obscurations lie at the root of all our delusions and suffering. The texts of Chod are sung in melodious verses, accompanied by the rhythmic playing of large hand-drums and bells. ‘Tsok’ or ‘Ceremonial Feast Offering’ is an important Vajrayana practice of offering and purification through which merit and the realisation of the ultimate nature of mind are generated and shared.

Event details: ‘Chod’ (meaning ‘cutting away’ or ‘cutting through’) is a set of unique tantric practices based on the Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom) teachings. These practices seek to overcome both a self-cherishing attitude and the apprehension of an independent, inherently existing self; these two kinds of obscurations lie at the root of all our delusions and suffering.

Brief description: The teaching, to be recorded at Bodong Porong Pelmo Choeding monastery, Kathmandu, Nepal, will be available to view by the end of each day (Nepal time).
Event details: The Bodhisattvacaryavatara, composed by the great 8th century Indian master and poet Shantideva, is one of the most celebrated expositions in classical Indian literature of the Bodhisattva path of Mahayana Buddhism. The text is written in verse and has ten chapters. It deals extensively with the stages of training one's mind in the generation of Bodhicitta, the altruistic aspiration to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all beings, and with the essential practices of a Bodhisattva's conduct and way of life, pervaded by the qualities of love, compassion, generosity and patience.
Geshe Pema Dorjee (born in 1951, Tibet) is an internationally respected scholar and teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, known for his fluent English, clear explanations, warm nature, and humour. After advanced studies at the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics and earning his Geshe degree at Drepung Loseling Monastery, he held senior roles including Director of the Tibetan Children’s Village and Principal of the College for Higher Tibetan Studies. At the Dalai Lama’s request, he revived the Bodong tradition, establishing a research centre in Dharamsala and a monastery and school in Kathmandu. He also leads humanitarian projects in the Himalayas and has taught widely across Europe, Asia, and the United States since 1997.

Brief description: The teaching, to be recorded at Pullahari monastery, Kathmandu, Nepal, will be given in Tibetan with English and Chinese translations.
Event details: Venerable Drupon Khenpo Lodro Namgyal will teach on the Pith Instructions on the Progressive Stages of Meditation focusing on Mahamudra, the Great Seal of the Path of Liberation, based on Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye’s Treasury of Knowledge. From among the three traditions of Sutra, Mantra, and Essence, the teachings will focus on Sutra Mahamudra, the intended meaning of the rGyud bLa Ma, the Uttaratantrashastra, or ‘The Sublime Continuum of the Mahayana’, as emphasized by Gampopa, the Lord of Dharma.
The practice of Mahamudra, in this context, comprises a sequence of systematic advanced meditations based on both calm abiding and penetrative insight, which focus on the meditator’s own mind, to achieve realisation of emptiness and pure appearance – the ultimate nature of mind and phenomena.
Drupon Khenpo Lodro Namgyal is greatly admired for his skill in making even the most complex and subtle Dharma subjects inspiring and accessible. He is the Principal of Rigpe Dorje Monastic Institute for Higher Buddhist Studies at Kagyu Thekchen Ling Monastery, Lava, India, and of the Rigpe Dorje Institute for Buddhist Studies at Pullahari Monastery, Nepal. Studying under the guidance of the Venerable Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche and the Venerable Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, in 1997, upon completion of a three-year Mahamudra retreat, he was bestowed the position of Drupon Khenpo by the Venerable Khenpo Tsultrim Rinpoche, who recognized in him a rare accomplishment and skill in both study and practice.
Gompa member-supporters are cordially invited to register for this special teaching event. At the time you register, there will also be the opportunity to make a voluntary offering in support of Pullahari monastery, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Brief description: These suttas (discourses) stress the practice of sati (mindfulness) for the purification of beings, and the overcoming of suffering, and for walking on the path of truth toward the realization of Nirvana. English and Chinese translation available.
[This event was originally webcast in December 2021 as Event ID 1835.]
Event details: The Satipatthana Sutta (The Discourse on the Establishing of Mindfulness), and the subsequently created Mahasatipatthana Sutta (The Great Discourse on the Establishing of Mindfulness), are two of the most celebrated and widely studied discourses in the Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism, acting as the foundation for contemporary vipassana meditational practice. The Pali texts of the Satipatthana Sutta and the Mahasatipatthana Sutta are largely similar in content; the main difference being a section about the Four Noble Truths (Catu Ariya Sacca) in the Observation of Phenomena (Dhammanupassana), which is greatly expanded in the Mahasatipatthana Sutta.
Teaching recorded at H.H. the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala, HP, India. Donations made related to this event are strictly voluntary and any donations that are made will go to the Tibetan International Digital Library, a project supported by His Holiness.

Brief description: Karma is a Sanskrit word which means ‘action’. Karma refers to the doctrine of actions and their causal consequences. These three talks by senior teacher Karma Wangchuk Lhamo are given in Tibetan with English translation. [This event was originally webcast in July 2019 as Event ID 220.]
Event details: The concept of karma includes, in its causal aspect, both the actual actions (physical, verbal and mental) and the psychological imprints and tendencies created within the mind by such actions. After the commitment of an action a causal chain is maintained within the mental continuum which continues through successive events and rebirths. Such a karmic potential is later activated when it interacts with appropriate circumstances and conditions thus leading to the fruition of its effects. In general, if we act motivated by greed, anger, or delusion, we are planting the seed of suffering; when our acts are motivated by generosity, love, or wisdom, then we are creating the karmic conditions for openness and happiness.
Karma Wangchuk Lhamo was ordained at Thrangu Tara Abbey at the age of sixteen. In 1999 she entered solitary retreat for three years in Manang, Nepal. Between 2005 and 2014 she completed the nine year shedra studies course at Namdroling monastery in South India. Since 2014 she has been a senior teacher at Thrangu Tara Abbey.
